My path in life was chosen In a flurry of emotion You know the music seemed to sweep me off my feet And I didnâ't have much choice But to follow her clear voice To try to find the things she had in store for me PREChorus I could have been a scientist but I donâ't mean to whine Itâ's just that I am so much more than what you see I could have been a million things to gain respect from kings and queens But I chose a minstrels life Simple and free simple and free simple and free Chorus I donâ't mind the fact these musical notes Haunt my mind and resonate from my bones Simple and free is what I said Simple and free â'til Iâ'm dead VERSE BRIDGE (Chorus Chords)
